Fabric is Exciting

My mom is pretty handy with a needle & thread. I absolutely love that about her and take advantage of it when I have a fabric-related project. Usually there's not much I want/need, but now that I have a wee one the need for random home-made shit stuff (I really need to stop cussing) has increased exponentially.

I had seen several of my mom-friends sporting cool baby carriers and wanted one of my own. I found one I liked, but felt that spending $100+ was a bit extreme. Enter, my mom. We made a trip to the fabric store and $30 & a couple hours later, voilĂ !

So imagine my surprise & elation when I saw this post. Stupid I know, but I take pleasure in simple things these days.

lucky! My sister could probably make one for me, but how the heck would I carry 2 boys in it. :(

It looks great, your mom is indeed crafty.

p.s. I have been using "eff" a lot lately and feel like such a dope.
